Grandma’s House by Amy Tackett is a “sweet” short novella wrapped with a bloody bow. Looking for a holiday book that will come and slice? Look no further. Amy found the creepiest grandma ever and delivered, a highly entertaining and confusing at the same time, short story. It is full of dark humor and punches that will keep on coming and make you question people and their behaviors in general.
For this audiobook, we have a duet style narration by Savanah Thomas and Joe Arden and they delivered a splendid performance. They created a perfect atmosphere and deliverance for this twisted, depraved and bloody story. And Savanah’s voice for grandma …. Excuse me ma’am where’s the Oscar?

A “sweet” short novella wrapped with a bloody bow!

WOW! Not sure what I expected, but this is a fabulous, quick thriller. Maisie is getting ready to be proposed to by her boyfriend, Lucas. Cooking a delicious meal, the two are enjoying the time. That is until an old woman lets herself in. A bit confused, she acts like she owns the place, and being the nice people Maisie and Lucas are, they indulge her. But what happens next is mind boggling. Thrilling, suspenseful, and shocking, this was a scene I never expected. The best kind of excitement comes when the anticipation grows, but honestly this was quick and I loved it! I will be looking for more of Amy Tackett's listens!

Joe Arden and Savannah Thomas are the story tellers for this one, and they bring out all the different facets of it. The holiday spirit, the romance, the surprise and then the horror! Each scene filled with a different feel, and a voice that brings it all together making a fabulous listen.

Quick & thrilling!

Listened to the audiobook, and I am just left sitting here going and?????... like I needed more to this story. Everything happened so quickly, and I am left with more questions than answers.
This is my first introduction to Amy Tackett, and if she only writes short stories. I would love to see this short story turned into a novel, as there is so much to work with.
Narrators did a great job.
If you are looking for a quick listen to change your brain from reading slump to more, please, then I would recommend this one
